Probably not.  If your Cabrillo log shows the correct sent number (even if a
duplicate) - nothing bad will happen to either party in the QSO.

In the SS - the log checking doesn't really care about the band.  Since there
aren't QSOs by band or multipliers by band - it really just doesn't matter
that much if a QSO is logged on the wrong band.  

This is a different story in something like the ARRL DX contst or CW Sprint,
where having each side of the QSO logged on different bands will result in a
NIL for both parties.

Is there any chance that the program was restarted just before this occurred?

Any Alt-E editing?
